It's what we are all here striving to do, and sweet Gracie will do it today. She put up such a good fight and blessed the lives of so many. We had hoped that for her family's sake she would be able to stay around awhile longer, but it seems that our Heavenly Father is calling her home. We love you sweet Gracie girl.
Be Still, My Soul
Be still, my soul: The Lord is on they side
With patience bear thy cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: Thy best, thy heavn'ly Friend
Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul: Thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as he has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: The waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.
Be still, my soul: The hour is hast'ning on
When we shall be forever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: When change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
Whenever there is something difficult for me to deal with, or something I can't understand this hymn always come to my mind. I know there are questions that will never be answered in this life, and when those question and thoughts of "Why?" come to me I just play this hymn and sing the words in my head.
I know our Heavenly Father knows each one of us and loves us. He has a plan for Gracie and that plan has come full circle. I can only imagine that wonderful reunion in Heaven when his sweet Gracie returns home to him.

that might have made me cry a little bit...
How sweet. and congrats on the baby boy. I wish we could agree on a name for ours.
Oh Sarah...so sad. I checked out Gracie's blog and it was so sad. I have such respect for parents who endure such trials. I also love that song, it is my favorite hymn. We wish her family well.
and really, i wasnt kidding, i really did cry a little bit. i love your post on it though, it is a comforting song.
We have been praying for things to work out for Gracie and her family. I guess it did. Although it's not what everyone wanted, I guess we have to have faith that the Lord knows whats best for us. We pray for her family for peace and comfort at this hard time. Thanks for keeping us up to date on this. I love that hymn.
